If only we had invented a device that could scroll the web page… Some kind of wheel maybe? It could even go directly on the mouse.

Guess we’ll just have to suffer until then.

Howdy

I’m excited to see what the outcome of SUSE forking RHEL will be.

• Will IBM backtrack?
• Will the SUSE RHEL fork stay separate from SLES?
• Will SLES move directly upstream or downstream from the RHEL fork?
• Will this inspire other big wigs (Microsoft?) to start work on their own RHEL equivalent distributions?

The gotcha for this is that you have to actually use the resources on your free instance or they will reclaim it. I use my instance as a Minecraft server so it utilizes about half of the 24GB RAM you get. For a very light compute task like a chat bot, it might be difficult to keep the instance from being reclaimed.

From this page:

Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true:

CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)

lenny face (no space)

WHY ARE FERAL HOG POPULATIONS SO HARD TO CONTAIN? BECAUSE THE POPULATION ARE BIG AND ALL THEY DO IS KEEP MAKING 100 OF FERAL HOGS AND I THEY DO IS MAKE THEIR MARK EVERYWHERE THEY AT AND THEY ARE TRYING TO STOP THEM BUT THEY CANNOT BECAUSE THERE ARE ABOUT 2 MILLION OF THESE HOGS AND ORDINARY HUNTING AND THESE FERAL HOGS ARE VERY DANGEROUS AND THESE TYPE OF ANIMALS ARE ONLY IN THE SOUTHERN.

It sounds like that’s just part of the game if you want to be considered “official”.

I think it’s OK for them to try and sell extras, but I do agree that it shouldn’t be the first thing on the downloads page. At least put the paid and free options side by side, then have the lite version down below that.

Pretty rich coming from the guys who overly moderate players’ private Minecraft servers up to and including banning players for saying a no-no word…

Powerless how? I left lol. I am not generating content for that website anymore which means I have taken something away from them.

Pop OS is my recommendation for new users who want to play games, especially those with Nvidia GPUs.

Good write up.

You can change the default behavior of the Print Screen key to open the Snipping Tool (what you’re talking about). It’s in Windows settings.

Does it require a paid subscription? You can have a free developer account. I didn’t see anything in the Red Hat post besides it being available through the customer portal, which you have access to with a free account.

They didn’t even go that far lol. There’s still Red Hat branding all over the place in Oracle Linux.

It’s a complete non-issue. Sensationalist headlines are so easy to make about this.

Anybody who has a FREE developer account can access the source code.

From the form:

and any other information that describes the benefits or challenges that you have experienced due to data caps

There’s no way anybody could POSSIBLY benefit from being artificially limited for no reason. Why even include that?

From https://www.redditinc.com/blog/https-www.redditinc.com-apifacts:

As of now, more than 80% of our top 5,000 communities (by DAU) are open

The 48 hour blackout that was popularized was a complete joke and reminds me of all the corporations that change their social media pictures to pride-themed photos for like 2 days then revert back to not caring at all. Reddit literally did not give two shits about 2 days of ad revenue being gone because they knew it would be back to normal before most people even noticed.

Note that these are just quotes from the disastrous AMA he held last week, not new comments that have been made.

(1st comment!!)

It’s not that Lemmy or Kbin are bad alternatives (I think they’re pretty good tbh), but I would really like to stay on Reddit because that’s where the content is. That’s where the vast majority of people are going to stay and so that’s where the interesting posts will stay.

Me continuing to use Reddit is entirely contingent upon Reddit Inc. making mobile apps usable again, either by lowering API costs so 3rd party apps can continue to exist, or improving the official app by a LARGE margin to bring it in line with the apps they’re killing. If they don’t do that, I’m more than happy to stay on Lemmy.
